Application filed February 28, 1900. Serial No, 6,201. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STEPHEN JESSUP, a citizen of the United fitates, residing at Bangor, in the county of Marshall and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Wall-Bracket and Scaffold-Frame, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wall-brackets, shelving, and scaffolds used by workmen while constructing buildings; and the objects of my improvement are, first, to provide great strength at small cost; second, to reduce the number of fastenings and avoid disfiguring the wall or other means of support, and, third celerity in adjustment. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which is a vertical view of the entire frame.

It consists of a single rod or wire, one end of which, e, is screw threaded for engagement with the wall or support and at a distance equal to the desired length of screw is bent downward at right angles, as at A, to the screw portion a distance equal to the thickness of the board to be supported and extended outwardly a distance equal to the width of the board and then bent upwardly a short distance and obliquely inwardly, terminating in an eyelet for a screw or other fastening means, said eyelet being in vertical alinement with the bend A.

What I claim as my invention is A scaffold-bracket consisting of a metal strip having fastening means at one end, bent downwardly near said end and then outwardly a suitable distance, then upwardly a distance approximately equal to the downward bend and then inclined inwardly terminating in an eyelet in vertical alinement with the first bendthe angular pocket forming a supporting-seat for a board or platform.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

STEPHEN JESSUP.
